Topic: Question about Digitface DANTE

i am a newbie, i have purchased a RME UFX+ recently to plug all my synths and drumming machine into line UFX+.. im interested in another product called Merging Anubis, which is a AES67 interface/monitor controller. I know UFX+ is USB based so it cant be used together. but what if i put a DIGIFACE Dante between the two? will it work?

IF i wanted to use Anubis as a monitor controller to monitor all tracks going in/out RME.. CAN the UFX+ outputs be connected to DIGIFACE DANTE through MADI interfacing, and into the ANUBIS through DANTE using the DIGITFACE Dante?

did i get this right? im not too technical and a newbie.. do i need to invest into Digiface? or is this too complicated? so any help in layman terms would be appreciated.

also does the new M-1610pro, does it have a DANTE option? or is it strictly AVB?

Re: Question about Digitface DANTE

Can Anubis talk with Dante devices? You need to find out this at Merging. It would still be strange to combine so many different and competing technologies for quite basic tasks. Should be possible in a more efficient way.

I am not RME, but M1610 Pro doesn't provide any option slots for e.g. Dante cards, and the built-in technology is definitely not Dante but AVB.

Re: Question about Digitface DANTE

Anubis is using AES67 format. The RME Digiface Dante has the Audinate Brooklyn II chip inside, which you can switch to AES67 mode inside the Dante Controller app.

In theory this should be possible. Install the DF Dante driver, install Dante Controller, switch the DF Dante to AES67 mode. Disconnect the unit from USB and connect the external PSU. Now the DF Dante works as a stand alone format converter, 64 ch MADI <> 64 channel AES67.

Then you need to create the routings (flows) from DF Dante to Anubis using an AES67 network configurator such as ANEMAN.

Personally, I think this makes no sense if you don't already use an AES67 network. TotalMix can work as a monitor controller, and that just works out of the box.
